If on any of above the answer is “YES”, this article is made exactly for you!

This is my complete guide to all the ways of entertainment I use in 2020 during global pandemic situation.

So if you want to get GREAT ideas today, you’ll love my new post!

Let’s dive right in.

READING FILLS YOUR MIND AND RESTS YOUR SOUL

Did you know that only six minutes of reading can reduce your stress by up to 68%? (More about the research, you can read HERE.)

Not to mention how reading widens your perspective in general and teaches you about large range of things.

I have to say I am a huge reader, but since I was travelling a lot and moving too, carrying all those books started to be heavy and quite expensive for me.

Yes, I love to touch, smell and feel the books, especially old ones, but I realized I have to be in step with the time in order to make my life easier.

As a matter of fact, reading was never easier than today. Apart from eBooks, which you can read on devices that are less harmful for your eyes such as Kindle or any of the cheaperalternatives, there are plenty of audio books too! 🙂 (I got totally hooked up to audio books!)

Below I will share with you all the free sources where you can get your new and awesome content to read.

1.) WHERE TO FIND FREE AUDIO BOOKS?

AudioBooksis a great site where you can choose 3 free audiobooks within your free trial

YOUTUBE CHANNELS are awesome source of free audio books, checkGREATEST AUDIO BOOKS CHANNEL plus, you can have YouTube premium for the whole month!

Memirise great app and website to learn the language with sounds and pictures

Spanish school based in Bogotá, Colombia if you want to brush up your Spanish, here’s a quality school that will help you learn the language with intensive, but never boring class (on Friday you can get your 3 h of free Spanish lesson and see if you like!)

2.) Learn how to play a music instrument

YouTube is a great source for learning music instruments.

3.) Try cooking a new cuisine

TasteAtlas is a great cooking site and a creative community where you can daily seek for new traditional dishes (7783 on this site). You can even make your own profile and share your own dishes, reviews and ideas.

4.) Learn how to play a sport or a game that you have never played before

5.) Watch podcasts as they are great source of knowledge especially if guests are some influential persons and scientists (one of my favourite is “The Joe Rogan Ecperience” and “TED“)

6.) Discover an inner artist in you and try to learn howto paint or draw! (we all know Bob Ross, don’t we?)

TRAVEL FROM HOME:TAKE A FREE VIRTUALTOUR AROUND WORLD’SMOST POPULARDESTINATIONS

IF TRAVELLING ISN’T AN OPTION, WHAT ABOUT VIRTUAL TRAVELLING?

Or perhaps, taking a new route to grocery store this morning?

If you experience a new environment, you tickle your neural pathways and awaken some new ideas, thoughts and perspectives! It’s another way to boost your creativity.

Below, I will share with you links of some of the most popular tourist destinations and their virtual tours in which you can enjoy from the comfort of your home.

Hopefully, you will add some of those places to your bucket list and turn them into reality when lockdown time comes to the end!

BONUS TIP: If you have a VR (virtual reality) headset-use it! Your experience will be much more realistic! If you don’t have a VR, it’s fine; your laptop, computer, phone or any other device will do the job too!

Make sure to have a good internet connection because virtual tours can take a bit longer to load.

RENEWING OLD FRIENDSHIPS AND CONNECTIONSCAN IMPROVE YOUR WELL BEING

To be frank, I made this one up! 🙂But, if you think outside the box, this applies to above mentioned how experiencing a new environment awakens new ideas and perspectives.

Well, the same is with new people.

So tell me, how is that not good for your well being!?

1.)Use advantages of internet and reach on to some people for which you haven’t had the time before or simply make new friendships while being active on social networks and online communities. Interact and share ideas!

IN A HEALTHY BODY, THERE’S A HEALTHY SPIRIT

Of course, resting is a part of exercising too. I am not a professional, but I do exercise daily for my whole life. The best time to start exercising (at least for me) is morning, and splitting that into few sessions, so you can properly rest your muscles and avoid any unpleasant inflammations.

If you don’t have any idea how to exercise or what to do, below I will share with you some great sources that will hopefully inspire you to move! “I like to move it, move it!” 🙂

2.) Again YOUTUBE has dozens resources of videos with exercising tutorials, dance tutorials, meditation tutorials that can help you feel better immediately!

BOHO BEAUTIFUL is a very quality channel for great Yoga and Pilates home workouts.

ADRIENE MISHLER is another YouTube yogi channel where you can practice yoga.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO HAVE KIDS IN ORDER TO PROVIDE A NEW LIFE ON THIS PLANET, YOU CAN PLANT A NEW PLANT !

Don’t get me wrong. I am not against having children, but opposite-I am always for creating new forms of life!

If you are not able to buy or order seeds-REGROW!

Every fruit or vegetable that has seeds, can be easily regrow. The same is valid for herbs and many more foods. I always draw inspiration from YouTube. (sorry for mentioning it so many times but seriously, it’s an awesome source especially of “How To…” kind of videos.)

BEFORE YOU INVEST YOUR TIME IN OTHERS,INVEST TIME IN YOURSELF!

We are not able to truly love others, if we don’t love ourselves. Take a warm bath, make a pilling or any other beauty treatment, eat ton of your favourite food, write a diary, organize your house, closet, office or simply do nothing at all!It is very important to do things that make you happy in order to make others happy.

IMPORTANT TO READ:

Many apps and sites like Skillshare and YouTube will ask you to enter a payment method (credit card or similar).

However, don’t be afraid! That is nothing but a policy of the company that hopes you will extend your membership and start paying after a certain free period.

Be sure to set an alarm or reminder for each app and site so you don’t forget to cancel your membership after the free period expires. (of course, if you don’t want to keep paying for it)

If you have something to add, any other free and awesome application, course, tutorial, website…let us know in the comments below! ⬇
